Abstract

he study aimed at the Covid-19 infection causes an increase in both the effective protein level C and the
level of the ferritin of blood in the early diagnosis of COVID-19 infection. In the present study that was

of the patient. The highest rate of a patient with COVID-19 was within the age group >50 years with a
highly significant relation between COVID-19 and age. The study showed that the highest rate of CRP in the
infected group compared with a control group with a highly significant difference. The highest rate of ferritin
in an infected group than the control group.
